Kuai Technology reported on October 11 that Stince Built, a U.S. machine manufacturer, said that GPU prices are expected to rise significantly, making it increasingly difficult to obtain goods, and the price increases can only be passed on to consumers. Stince Built said in the latest news that GPU inventory is so tight that it is difficult to get enough goods to assemble the entire machine. AI and data centers' appetite for memory continues to eat up production capacity. Memory and SSD prices have already reached record highs, and now GPUs have also joined the ranks of shortages. Memory and SSD have been causing headaches for this machine manufacturer for nearly a year, and the GPU shortage has become another straw. Compared with last year, GPU prices have increased by 50-60%. The remaining models of the RTX 50 series have experienced multiple rounds of price increases this year. AMD is not idle here either. It recently announced another round of GPU price increases. Both companies rose together, and both machine manufacturers and consumers were hit. What’s more serious is that some models have been discontinued by EOL. Just yesterday there was news that NVIDIA has discontinued RTX 5090, and the GB202 chip has been switched to the RTX PRO series. Stince Built said that it is trying to find ways to lock in GPU inventory to reduce costs, but admits that this is not easy. GPU prices are expected to rise significantly, and high prices may last for a long time, and ultimately the costs can only be passed on to consumers.
